Fun Fact: The place where big ben was cast, The Whitechapel Bell Foundry, is also where the original Liberty Bell was cast.

You need some updated pictures. The clock faces had a new paint job recently, they’re blue instead of black with a more colourful edging now. You can just see that towards the end but there’s too much scaffolding in the way.

No mention of the fact that the tower was once DESTROYED!
Of course, that was just in a MOVIE.
"GORGO", to be precise
In the sequence, you see a couple of rockets go through the clock faces just before mama Gorgo knocks the whole thing down.
You also get to see her walk THROUGH London Bridge
About time somebody picked on a city OTHER than Tokyo, right?

Can we know why the visit of BigBen is forbidden to foreign tourists ?
Is it related to terrorist risks or other reasons ?

But Big Ben isn't a clock... it's the bell inside the clock tower.
